Florida Supreme Court rules against abortion amendment
A proposed amendment to the Florida Constitution that would have added abortion rights to the state constitution was struck down by the Florida Supreme Court on Thursday.
The court ruled that the amendment's language was "misleading" and did not "fairly inform voters" about what they were voting on.
The proposed amendment, which was known as Amendment 2, would have added language to the state constitution that would have said that "the right to privacy includes the right to make decisions regarding one's own reproductive health, including the right to have an abortion." The amendment was placed on the ballot by a coalition of abortion rights groups and was supported by a majority of voters in the state.
However, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that the amendment's language was "misleading" because it did not "fairly inform voters" about what they were voting on. The court said that the amendment's language could have been interpreted to mean that abortion would be legal in all cases, even in cases of rape or incest. The court also said that the amendment's language could have been interpreted to mean that abortion would be funded by the state, which is not the case.
The court's ruling is a major setback for abortion rights activists in Florida. The amendment was seen as a way to protect abortion rights in the state, which has become increasingly hostile to abortion in recent years. The ruling also sets a precedent for other states that are considering similar amendments.
